Speedy Gamboa Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in South Carolina

My fiancé and I both got the Monday burrito special. Needless to say we were both very disappointed in the food. The other reviews claim this to be the best Mexican restaurant in the area but I would have to politely disagree. The food was not hot when it came out, and immediately I could tell the beans that were on the side were from a can. The rice wasn’t hot either. The quality of the burritos themselves were questionable, and the meat tasted off. The lettuce was not fresh whatsoever, and the sour cream was VERY odd. It had a runny consistency and tasted more like a runny heavy cream from a carton. The chips that were brought to our table were stale as well which was disappointing. My fiancé and I will definitely not be back after the experience with the food that we had. The staff were very polite and friendly, but that didn’t make up for the poor quality food we were served. The price for the portions they were asking for was ridiculous along with the fact that it didn’t taste…good... I hope that there are improvements made. I’ve eaten at plenty of Mexican restaurants in my day, but this place has got to be the worst...

Fresh made from scratch food. I ordered 3 different enchiladas. Nelly brought out freshly made chips and 3 different salsas. The red salsa was bland, the green tomatilla salsa was wonderful and the avacado and habanero salsa was good but way too hot for me. Portions were huge. The cheese enchilada with with red sauce, onion, fresca cheese and avacado slices was really good. I ate the green tomatillo cheese enchilada next. I was really good too. I had to box up the third with homemade mole and fresca cheese because I thought it would reheat the best. Nelly said they use mozarella because it melts well and there wad plenty in each of the 3. They all tasted really good. You can taste how fresh all the ingredints are with the tortillas being made from scratch as well. I had teir guacamole as well. It was like getting the tableside made version with plenty of onion tomatoes and cilantro. If there was jalapeno in it they must have left out the seeds because it was not hot...

My folks live close by to this location, and my boyfriend loved this place when we were going to CCU. So when we were visiting my parents, we got takeout for the whole family. I got the chicken quesadilla, because I’m not particularly huge on Mexican food, and it was really good. It paired really nicely with the sour cream that it came with. We ordered inside, and was told it would be 20 minutes. We walked over to the Circle K next door and got some drinks, and that took probably like 5 minutes overall. When we came back, we only had to wait another 5 or so minutes for our food. Mind you, we got 4 meals and 2 sides to feed 5 people. So that was really quick! Everyone liked their food. The portions are very generous...
